Introduction to AMendate Lighthouse VersionMSC Apex Generative Design 2019
|
...
In a first step, you need to create a new project. All data (geometry and configuration) will be copied and saved directly in a new project-folder, located in your workspace:
- Start AMendateStar MSC Apex Generative Design 2019
- Create a new project
- Enter a projectname and save the project
- Open the newly created project
...
- Upload all relevant stl files by clicking on the symbol in the objects/surfaces area
- select all stl files
- The field at the bottom shows notifications and makes you aware of missing inputto help you generate an optimization model
- The uploaded objects are listed in the objects/surfaces area
- Assign a Material to each object/surface and enter the specific values for the Young's Modulus and poisson ratio in the Material Editor
- Activate the option design space for the relevant stl file. Only one volume can be selected as such:
Step 3: Definition of boundary conditions
...
Name | Object | Direction | Value in N |
---|---|---|---|
Force1 | interface1 | x | 18904 |
Force2 | interface2 | x | 18904 |
Force3 | interface1 | y | 17792 |
Force4 | interface2 | y | 17792 |
Force5 | interface1 | x y | 15701 14137 |
Force6 | interface2 | x y | 15701 14137 |
Force7 | interface1 | x | 19483 |
Force8 | interface2 | x | 19483 |
Name | Object | Direction |
---|---|---|
Fixation1 | interface2 | x, y, z (=0) |
Fixation2 | interface3 | x, y, z (=0) |
Fixation3 | interface4 | x, y, z (=0) |
Fixation4 | interface5 | x, y, z (=0) |
- A total of 8 forces and 4 fixations should have been created as a result.
...
- Active in Loadcase1: Force1, Force2, Fixation1, Fixation2, Fixation3 and Fixation4
- Active in Loadcase2: Force3, Force4, Fixation1, Fixation2, Fixation3 and Fixation4
- Active in Loadcase3: Force5, Force6, Fixation1, Fixation2, Fixation3 and Fixation4
- Active in Loadcase4: Force7, Force8, Fixation1, Fixation2, Fixation3 and Fixation4
Step 4: Definition of optimization parameters
...
All result iterations are displayed as soon as they are available. The progress of the optimization can also be monitored via the AMendate log file. Furtheremore you are able to stop the optimization in this selection area. A restart however is not possible.
The optimization is finished after 64 iterations (optimizationtype: optimizing).
